To add a custom service:

You can then use the custom service when creating firewall rules.
3. In the Name field, enter a suitable name for this service.
4. In the Type list, select the correct type for this service (if in doubt, select TCP/UDP):
•TCP
•UDP
•TCP/UDP
5. Enter the starting and ending port numbers. If the application uses a single port number,
enter that number in both fields.
6. Click Apply.
